Beokraft is a supergroup made of Yugoslavian electronic music pioneers Dejan Stanisavljevic  (Beograd), Zoran Jevtic (Data, Sizike,Master Scratch Band) and Nikolaj Bezek (Consequential). The Time Machine is their album inspired by Kraftwerk-the fathers of electronic music.
Track Artificial Mind  beautifully portrays Beokraft's rich and colorful production, but in ,, right from the scratch- ala Kraftwerk"  approach.  It's hypnotic and dance oriented beat with lot of vintage effects make this track modern and perfect for dance floors. A testimony that everything begins with Kraftwerk and everything finishes with Kraftwerk, even today!

PREMIERE | Beokraft - Artificial Mind [Discom]

With a mission to promote overlooked music from the former Yugoslavia, Belgrade's independent label Discom presents you a track "Behind The Soul" by group Consequential from their forthcoming LP compilation MicroComposed 1980-86. 
Consequential was a synth-pop group who was active in the period between 1980 and 1986 in Belgrade.  It was founded by Zoran Jevtic ( DATA, Sizike, Master Scratch Band, Digitron) and Nikolaj Bezek (the founder one of Yugoslavia's first purely electronic music-oriented studios, in Serdar Jola Street, Belgrade). Thanks to studio's essential and, for local conditions very rare, gear like Roland MC-4B analog sequencers, Roland System 100M modular synth, SVC-350 and VP-330 vocoders, Jevtic and Bezek were able to create music that they truly liked: a combination of catchy vocoder-based, experimental 80s electronic, with a strong influence of Italo disco and synthpop!  Their track " Behind The Soul" is a beautiful example of their concept: the catchy sounds of Roland SVC-350 combined with dusty analog experimental sounds of Roland System 100M, SH-101, TR-808,  RSF Kobol, Korg Polysix  and SC Pro-One.

PREMIERE | Consequential - Behind The Soul [Discom] 2018

As one of the inevitable addresses in searching for lesser known music from the former Yugoslavia, Belgrade's @discom-1 label presents a Wednesday mix made exclusively of diggers' pearls from this historical region. From free jazz, funk, disco and boogie to ambient, synth pop and new wave, this mix recaptures an authentic Yugoslavian sensitivity: dreamy, mysterious, beautiful and yet ridiculous, grotesque and tragic. Mainly composed of songs which became Yugo oddball classics, it acts as a good starting point for further investigation and individual research. Discom's latest release, Consequential - 'MicroComposed 1980-86' is out today!

Discom: The Wednesday Alternative Mix

With a mission to promote lesser-known music from the former Yugoslavia, Belgrade's independent label Discom presents you a track "Pustinjska Tajna (eng: A Secret Of The Desert)" by a legendary group Du Du A from their forthcoming LP compilation Du Du Archive 1984-1989.

Du Du A was formed in the early '80s in NYC. Their music can be described as a mixture of styles such as funk, reggae, rap, and dance.  Active in Yugoslavia, they released Maxi Single: "Ja Tarzan, Ti Dzejn/ Afrikanac Iz Beograda" (PGP RTB, 1982),  LP album "Primitivni Ples" (PGP RTB, 1983), SP "Romance/Irie (Jugoton, 1984).  After recording these releases,  the first song which band leaders Dejan Kostić (as a guitar player) and Zoran Zagorčić (as a composer, arranger, lyricist) put together was "Pustinjska Tajna (eng: A Secret Of The Desert)".  Inspired by their journey to Egypt, the song is a brilliant example of the band's interest in the exploration of unknown rhythms and sound textures, combined with minimalistic, powerful evocative lyrics and psychedelic atmosphere.  This is a premiere, the song was never published nor broadcasted before. Record is out 31th of may.

PREMIERE | Du Du A - Pustinjska Tajna [Discom] 2019

The vibrant neon lights of the discotheque lit up the sky's black canvas, welcoming party goers from all over through its gold plated doors. This place was the talk of the town, every weekend people flocked to dance their blues away and say farewell to the week. Only smiling faces littered the dance floor here, there wasn't any space for frowns or sombre moods. From dusk till dawn this place was their sanctuary, a party that felt like it would never end. A voodoo party.

Independent record label Discom's mission is to unearth and share forgotten gems from the former Yugoslavia with the world. Next up on their release schedule is an LP from Belgrade alt rock band Du Du A, charting some of their best tracks from 1984-1989. Formed in the early 80s in New York, the duo of Dejan Kostić and Zoran Zagorcic fuse elements of post-punk, new wave, reggae and funk, influences that all sing on Voodoo Party.

The week had dragged on like never before, leaving little time to think or process anything. She watched the hands on the clock intensely and wished the time would melt away. Friday had finally arrived and tonight she was going to let off steam. She'd been thinking about it since that first spreadsheet she'd filled in on Monday morning. They were going to the best spot in town, where you could completely lose yourself and forget the outside world. If you really wanted to escape, that was the only place. There, worries didn't exist. At least until Monday morning rolled round again... 

Three years after Discom - a label with a mission to unearth lost sounds from former Yugoslavia - released a colection of tracks from oddball queens Sizike, they happened upon another archive of music the band made for the UK market between 1985 and 1986. All previously unreleased, Night Club features nine tracks of Hi-NRG, synth-pop and italo disco that marked a forgotten era of music from the country.

PREMIERE: Sizike - Night Club [Discom]

Black Feeling. One of the heads of beautiful PERONAS, a train-yard bound Bar with a lot of club vibes steps up with his edit of a Yugoslavian band's track from 1985. A fresh interpretation with arrangement with a solid italo bassline, bright synthesizers and the drops to rock the dancefloor.
